About Special Occasion Hairstyling
I'm Puja, a hairstylist from Mumbai who loves bringing out the best in hair for any celebration. I travel often, but Mumbai is home and where I get to work with all kinds of folks - from brides and models to party guests.
What I Do
- I style hair for weddings, sangeet, cocktail nights, photoshoots, and all those moments when you wanna look your best.
- My work isn’t just about making you look nice - I make sure your hairstyle holds up through the dancing, sweating, and selfies.
Event Styling Highlights
- For parties, I’m big on glam ponytail hairstyles, sleek waves, and half-updos with cool accessories.
- If you’re in the bridal party or family, I create floral bridal buns (my signature), intricate braids with tassels or jewellery, and accessorized half-up styles.
- For photoshoots, I do camera-ready editorial hair, from Bollywood glam to edgy, high-fashion vibes.
Traditional & Cultural Expertise
- I’m skilled in traditional Maharashtrian hairdo (think Peshwa-style buns with flowers and jewellery).
- South Indian styles with long braids, temple jewellery, and gajra - I do those too.
- I also handle Sikh and Muslim wedding styles, sticking to the details that matter.
Hair has its own mood, na? I get that - and I try to match it to yours.

My Story
Hey, I'm Puja. Hair is my thing, Mumbai is home, but my brides take me everywhere. I get a kick out of styling for weddings, from Haldi’s chill vibes to Sangeet’s glam feels. I don’t work solo—my makeup and designer crew are like family, we vibe and make magic together. My Insta feed? That’s my proof, real brides, real moments. Making someone feel stunning on their big day—can’t beat that.
